Winter Canola: A Growing Opportunity for Mid-South Farmers
As Mid-South farmers prepare for soybean planting following their cover crops this spring, a new cropping system and revenue stream with winter canola may be a viable option to consider this fall. After a successful commercial winter canola pilot season, Pioneer along with partner Bunge Chevron Ag Renewables LLC are pleased with last year’s results and the growing interest from Mid-South farmers for this season and next.
Herbicides Remain Dominant Segment in North American Crop Protection Chemicals Market
The report, Crop Protection Chemicals Market, published by MarketsandMarkets, highlights several key factors driving this expansion in agricultural pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides across the United States and North America.
Evaluating Corn Emergence During Early Scouting
As growers are in fields this spring, evaluating corn stands early is crucial for making replant decisions. When assessing corn stands, several representative areas should be evaluated in each field. Documenting areas with emergence problems via GPS and photos tagged with geographical coordinates can be useful for future decisions. “When scouting, you’ll first want to look at overall uniformity of emergence,” said Jonathan Rotz, Pioneer Field Agronomist.
Purdue-USDA Team Develops Fast-Track Process for Genetic Improvement of Plant Traits
Researchers interested in improving a given trait in plants can now identify the genes that regulate the trait’s expression without doing any experiments. Purdue University’s Kranthi Varala and 10 co-authors published the details of the new web-based regulatory gene discovery tool in the April 23 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Varala has a patent pending on the results that relates to economically important seed oil biosynthesis.

BASF Launches SCNFields.com to Raise Awareness of Soybean Cyst Nematode Populations
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) is present in most areas where soybeans are grown, and because nematodes feed on the roots of the plant, the damage is often invisible without any above ground symptoms.
USDA Seeks Public Input on Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Deregulation of Maize Developed Using Genetic Engineering
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is inviting public comments for 45 days on a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and draft plant pest risk assessment (PPRA). APHIS prepared these documents in response to a petition from Bayer CropScience U.S. seeking to deregulate their MON 87429 corn cultivar. This cultivar was produced through genetic engineering to tolerate the herbicides dicamba, glufosinate, quizalofop, 2,4-D, and tissue-specific glyphosate.
Novel Discovery Could Fortify Farmers’ Defenses Against SCN
Researchers have discovered a new and unexpected way to prevent soybean cyst nematode (SCN) from attacking soybeans. The loss of function of the GmSNAP02 gene in resistant soybean varieties like PI 90763 and PI 437654 thwarts SCN’s ability to attack the soybean plant.

And according to Ryan Myers, U.S. Brand Leader, this remains the core principle behind all of the market moves Brevant seeds has made up until now — and will continue to make going into the future.
Don’t let weeds hold back crop potential
By Amanda Fruland, AgReliant Genetics and Cory Prosser, LG Seeds Agronomist A wetter spring outlook for some areas of the Midwest has farmers eying the calendar, but timely planting isn’t their only concern. “A good spring burndown program with some residual control will be extremely important, as a wet spring could result in some weed-ridden fields,” says LG Seeds Agronomist Corey Prosser. A burndown in the spring is popular in Prosser’s Ohio, where no-till and cover crop acres are common.
